Appearance

Malik's fur is a black color. His quills have purple tips, as well. His skin is a peach color.

He wears shoes that can withstand any environment, as well as having hover capabilities in case his power is acting up. He also wears a red shirt with the GUN insignia on it, along with blue jeans. He can switch from that casual attire to a suit more suitable for combat situations, simply by using his own thoughts.

In addition, he has two swords that he can dual-wield when he needs to. He can perform certain attacks, like the Blades of Darkness skill. Also, the swords are lightweight, so he can run without a problem with his swords sheathed on his waist.

Theme Song

Importance to Character (lyrics)

So hollow, so vicious/so afraid I couldn't let myself see... During the GUN attack on the ARK, Malik was a bit afraid. For both himself and the well-being of his friends.

I don't hold back, I hold my own Malik knows his own purpose now. He has vowed to protect the world, at whatever cost.

I don't back up, I don't back down/I don't fold up, and I don't bow/I don't roll over, don't know how Malik has gotten much stronger over the years, to the point that he's ready to set off on his own.

History

Malik was one of the many inhabitants of the Space Colony ARK . He was a good friend of Maria and Gerald Robotnik and was always willing to help them. Although he was clueless about what was happening at first, he got it down quickly.

Then came the events with Project Shadow and such. Of course, Malik wanted to help. He found it fascinating, himself, and wanted to help in any way he could. Doubts started coming to him when Black Doom agreed to help. Apparently, Malik was also one of the few witnesses of the initial construction of the ARK's Eclipse Cannon .

Then the GUN agents attacked the colony. Malik and Shadow helped Maria escape, under Gerald's orders. When Shadow was sent to the Earth below and Maria was shot down, Malik's dark side was awakened for the first time. He relentlessly killed GUN soldiers, without control, until he was eventually shut down.

Years later, Sonic and Tails found him shut down in Emerald Coast. He was brought back to Tails's lab and reactivated. Of course, he didn't know who reawakened him, so he began to panic. An injury in his leg caused him to fall after an attempt to run. They explained the events of Sonic Adventure 2 , and he understood.

He later set off on his own to find Shadow, and with some success. He found Shadow, with Shadow recognizing him. Malik had been with him for a few years after finding him.

Eventually, Malik had gotten to the point where he was ready to set off on his own. He chose to be a hero after meeting Lava the Hedgehog, who recieved permission to travel with Malik after meeting him. Lava wanted to be a bit more like him, power-wise. Malik had decided to teach him how to unlock his inner Chaos energy, allowing Lava to learn Chaos Control and Spear. Lava was then taken to a proper teacher so that he could learn the ways of pyromancy, after Malik saw his inner flame.

Powers

Malik was given the ability to use Chaos moves, like Shadow. However, some moves are unique to him in some ways. For example, he is able to utilize Chaos Control without a Chaos Emerald, which would make him seem more powerful than others.

He also can manipulate the darkness around him to his own will. However, there are some things he cannot control. If he has a lot of rage built up, his inner darkness may take control of his body, damaging nearby objects and severely injuring, if not killing, nearby people. This was first displayed back at the ARK when Maria was shot down by a GUN soldier.

Relationships

Canon

Sonic the Hedgehog: Their relationship was positive ever since Malik was reawakened. Before his search for Shadow's whereabouts, Sonic was one of his best friends, the other being Tails.

Miles "Tails" Prower: Same as Sonic.

Shadow the Hedgehog: He was like a brother to Malik. The two are very cooperative, meaning they work together amazingly well. Knowing Shadow's personality, however, Malik doesn't try to annoy him too much; Shadow is barely ever seen mad at him. Malik knew he had to leave his side eventually, but he knew that they would meet yet again soon.

Fanon

Lava the Hedgehog: One of his best friends, Lava looks upon Malik with great respect. Malik was the one who taught him how to use the basic Chaos moves that he currently knows.

Trivia

Originally, Malik was to be a Demonhog; however, this was scrapped.

Malik was to be with Team Sonic instead. Guess what? Scrapped.

Malik was to have shoes that were similar to Shadow's. Too bad that was scrapped. *sigh*
